Subject: Installer /dev/hdaX display/e.g. fdisk mismatch on system with BSD
slices
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2
When I try to install (from cd), the installer uses another partitioning
scheme than e.g. fdisk.
It offers to
- use /dev/hda15 as swap and fails to do so. (because it actually is
hda11)
- offers to format my /dev/hda9, (from 1..15) but mounts my "real" hda9
(from 1..11) on /target.
This is because I have a BSD/386 partition (hda2, as shown below) with
slices
This is what fdisk sees:
...
/dev/hda2 * 259 775 3908520 a5 BSD/386
/dev/hda3 776 820 340200 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 821 3970 23814000 5 Erweiterte
/dev/hda5 821 1078 1950448+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 * 1079 1336 1950448+ eb BeOS-Dateisystem
/dev/hda7 1337 1594 1950448+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda8 1595 2111 3908488+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda9 2112 3117 7605328+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda10 3118 3892 5858968+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda11 3893 3970 589648+ 82 Linux (Auslagerung)
...
The Installer recognizes 4 BSD slices. So swap part. a11 is a15, ...
But the system fails to mount /dev/hda15...
And mounts the same hda9 on "/target" as you see above and not a5, as it
should, when calculating this "offset".
I changed my a2 to something completly different and everything works
like expected.
IMHO this shows that it is dangerous to use different strategies for
display and execution... (sorry, but...)
If I can help or test again feel free to contact me.

Thank you very much for your bug report. We believe the issue you
reported is solved as of boot-floppies 2.3.1. That is the woody
version of boot-floppies, which is available in the archive, or, some
SPARC and i386, at
<URL:http://people.debian.org/~aph/debian/dists/woody/main/>.
If you feel your bug is still outstanding, please let us know or
reopen your bug -- see <http://www.debian.org/Bugs/> for instructions
how to do that.
We are not longer working on Potato boot-floppies, except for critical
issues. If you feel that your bug hasn't been fixed as of
boot-floppies 2.2.22 (the latest Potato version), then you we need to
reopen your bug and put the 'potato' tag on it. Please be sparing --
the more we are distracted with Potato issues, the less effort we are
able to put into Woody boot-floppies.
Again, thanks for your report. Bug reports are a significant
contribution to Debian. We apologize that it probably took so long to
fix the issue you reported.
